The gunfire exchange highlights a lack of rules governing the use of weapons on the high seas amid questions over how much force is legal and necessary to fight Somali piracy attacks, which targeted a record 237 ships last year. The video, presented at a shipping conference in December and leaked on the internet last month, has fueled debate over when is it acceptable to open fire -- and to keep shooting.
Sorry, but this article is the typical liberal anti-gun garbage. "Some" people use excessive force. (And not much data to back this up). This "might" lead to "wild west" situations. Blahblahblah hand wringing.
